Hitchcock noted on the first page the dates and places where he had delivered this sermon between 1823 and 1860 as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. Hitchcock noted that there is a true gospel containing essential doctrines of revelation necessary for salvation. To prevent men from being led astray into fatal error, these doctrines needed to be stated in a creed. Those who failed to embrace the creed should be refused Christian fellowship. Hitchcock acknowledged that creeds had caused division and those who championed them were called narrow minded. Nevertheless, he warned that those without a firm foundation in the essential doctrines would be tempted by the range of opinions from Theodore Parker to John Calvin and have no hope of salvation.
